Thus far we have looked exclusively Thus far we have looked exclusively at reactions from a before and after at reactions from a before and after stand point.stand point.

Now we look at the reactions as they Now we look at the reactions as they happen. This should help complete happen. This should help complete the picture.the picture.

Will it happen?Will it happen?

Look at the equation below.Look at the equation below.

2NO2NO2(g)2(g) 2NO 2NO(g)(g) + O + O2(g)2(g)

We can use We can use ΔΔH and H and ΔΔS to determine S to determine if the reaction will occur at room if the reaction will occur at room temperature.temperature.

Let’s do that:Let’s do that:

HHff of NO of NO2(g)2(g) = 34, S = 240 = 34, S = 240

HHff of NO of NO(g)(g) = 90, S = 211 = 90, S = 211

SHIVA SHIVA or or 2NO2NO2(g)2(g) 2NO 2NO(g)(g) + O + O2(g)2(g)

HHff of NO of NO2(g)2(g) = 34, S = 240 = 34, S = 240

HHff of NO of NO(g)(g) = 90, S = 211 = 90, S = 211

S of OS of O22 = 205 = 205ΔΔH = (2*90)-(2*34)H = (2*90)-(2*34)ΔΔH = 112 kJ/mol H = 112 kJ/mol ΔΔS = (2*211+205)-(2*240)S = (2*211+205)-(2*240)ΔΔS = (627)-(480)=147 J/mol•K S = (627)-(480)=147 J/mol•K ΔΔS = 147 J/mol•K = 0.147 kJ/mol•KS = 147 J/mol•K = 0.147 kJ/mol•K

Zero or first order?Zero or first order?

Rate = k[NORate = k[NO22]]nn

A zero order equation has an “n” A zero order equation has an “n” value of zero. Hence, rate = kvalue of zero. Hence, rate = k

This would give a linear This would give a linear concentration vs. rate graphconcentration vs. rate graph

A 1A 1stst order reaction has an “n” value order reaction has an “n” value of 1. Hence the concentration vs. of 1. Hence the concentration vs. rate graph is linear.rate graph is linear.

Half lifeHalf life

Half life is defined as the amount of Half life is defined as the amount of time it takes for half of a sample to time it takes for half of a sample to decompose/decay.decompose/decay.

There are equations on page 578 There are equations on page 578 that will allow you to calculate half that will allow you to calculate half life if you have k and [con]life if you have k and [con]00
